*wonders if tinfoil hats provide brain protection against zombies*

IIEM, a Mog's special please - and make it strong this time!

{~Teuchter~}

Tinfoil hats, I'd have thought to a Zombie it makes brains more like those special little chocolates wrapped in shiny tinfoil that have fancy centres or something.

If you want zombie proof headgear perhaps something based on service station sandwich packaging would work?

*stays just a little out of Ag's way *

Yep, Mr D - that'd protect just fine!

I thought service station sandwiches were a truly Canadian thing. Better protected with polymers than many a NORAD site, and if you ever managed to break into one with the car jack and other stray tools, ascetylene torch, mini-nuke-device, a thin smear of marmite that was ignited ... You would find a almost-but-not-quite plastic product that looked like a child's rendering of a sandwich

Oh, we're well familiar with service station food in the UK... Not only the suspicous sandwiches in bombproof packaging but the sub par cafeteria food that you have to take out a loan to afford.

Incidentally an ex-colleague once went on a birdwatching holiday in Canada and they did most of their eating in truck stops. After a week of feeling his arteries getting harder he decided to order a 'healthy option' breakfast... which turned out to be the regular breakfast with a side salad.

Indeed, truck-stop menues are designed with the 274-pound truck driver in mind. Quantities of food (and greases) sufficient for the average family of four on one platter

Following on from unhealthy foods - I was just listening to an item on the radio about the differences in regional diets here in the UK. Apparently if the Scots, Welsh and Norn Irish ate an "English Diet", 4000 lives per annum would be saved.

One suspects that if they ate an Edinburgh diet the same thing would happen.

Is that Zombies on an Edinburgh diet?

Morning all.

Afternoon

'Tis not afternoon. You are causing them furries to spin too fast! It's only coming on 9:30 am here in THE real world

Nick, while I can humbly admit to never having been to the illustrious country you oft mention whilst wanting to. I fear that I must point out that the centre of the world, nay, the universe is Manchester, England.


Unless I go somewhere else in which case the centre of the Universe moves with me

Good Sir, I can admit to having been to Manchester once. Nice enough, but the centre?

"Unless I go somewhere else in which case the centre of the Universe moves with me"

Relativity is a wonderful thing...

Typical attitude syndrome...

I just spotted one of those Lego lunchboxes in the office fridge I do like Lego.

I quite like living just south of the centre of the universe.

This is a good weapon for getting rid of zombies:
